As a professional footballer, I enrolled in the Sports Psychology Diploma in order to better understand the psychological aspects of peak performance. The course gave me excellent insights on the mental aspects of sports, including motivation, stress management, and positive mental health.  Studying with The Behavioural Training Institute has been a transformative experience. The engaging curriculum, assignments , and practical approach to teaching really exceeded my expectations. The interactive learning platform with a huge range of reading material as well as videos allowed me to apply theory to real-world scenarios effectively. The Institute's emphasis on skill development and personal growth has equipped me with invaluable tools to excel both on a personal level but also professionally. I highly recommend The Behaviour  Training Institute to anyone seeking comprehensive and enriching online educational programs

I am deeply grateful to Dr. Crimmins and The Behavioral Training Institute for the opportunity to get sound knowledge in the field of Counselling Psychology (that I am particularly interested in). I have taken the courses of Advanced Diploma in Psychology, Forensic Psychology, and Counselling & Psychotherapy. They gave me a solid base and structured understanding of the principles in different fields of Psychology. The program is built very professionally and thoroughly, with both beginners and practicing counsellors in mind. Special point that really helped me through the course was the feedback to my works from Dr. Crimmins. Always supportive, professional, and attentive to details, Dr. Crimmins' comments and advice helped me understand my strong and weak points in processing the materials of the courses. In the future I am planning to take other courses from the Institute and to visit live trainings as well.

I am writing to recommend my participation in the Behavioural Training Institute Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy programme. I took this course to support my work as “Advisor incident prevention” with ADNOC where I frequently encounter employees who have been impacted by workplace incidents. I found the training to be highly educational and I have gained a wealth of knowledge and skills that are having a significant impact on the mental health of personnel. ----Dr. Muhammad Tayab, Advisor, Incident Prevention Group Health, Safety & Envirnoment Function Abu Dhabi National Oil Company

I recently attended a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in-person course led by Dr. John Crimmins, PhD, and it was a transformative experience. Dr. Crimmins skillfully brought together a culturally diverse group, guiding us through the fundamentals with empathy and expertise. His mastery of Socratic questioning and Rogers' approach provided us with practical, hands-on knowledge. Most importantly, he created a safe and secure environment, enabling us to discuss and practice ethical and practical aspects of running a CBT session. This weekend course was not only informative but also deeply engaging and inspiring. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their CBT skills.

I signed up for a five Diploma package in Positive Psychology, Counselling & Psychotherapy, Emotional Intelligence, Sports Psychology, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I have extracted fantastic tools from my enrolled courses with The Behaviour Institute. The multiple modes of delivery in the form of video, literature, research, and case studies, make for a fantastic learning environment. Every aspect of each speciality topic is addressed and presented in a digestible format. In addition, the continuous support and friendly demeanour of the wonderful Dr. John Crimmins is invaluable. John made the entire process enjoyable and his detailed feedback on the assignments clearly displays his passion for the world of Psychology and continuous development.

First of all, I would like to present my utmost “Thank you" to the learning institute " The Behaviour institute" and in particular Dr John Crimmins for all the support, encouragements and care that he provided to me during my studies. I participated in the course and completed my first theme in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy "CBT". It is worth mentioning that the content of the theme and the information provided are extremely valuable and comprise of resources which are very interesting at academic level, social, familial and personal. As well, they went above and beyond by providing extra reading links for those who are interested for more in depth research on particular data.   Being a resident in Dubai for the past 22 yrs and professional in human resources and recruitment, currently taking on freelance projects, I constantly develop and educate myself. My experience with Dr Crimmins institute was and still is positive and exciting. I am currently continuing another subject under his supervision.

"I recently completed my Diploma of Positive Psychology at the Behaviour Institute and couldn't be happier with my course. I was excited to find an accessible course on this valuable field of psychology that stresses the importance of living more meaningful, more resilient and more authentic lives. The course excelled my expectations with its varied and in-depth content. I also appreciated the flexibility of the self-paced learning style. However, it was the assignments that made this course different, in that they encouraged me to really explore my learnings, helping further develop and cement my knowledge".

Attending the Two Day Advanced Cognitive Behavioural Therapy training course in Abu Dhabi proved to be a profoundly enriching professional endeavour. The course was thoughtfully structured and well-delivered through discussions, case analyses, and role-playing scenarios. We explored topics such as CBT and the Therapeutic Relationship, Mindfulness exercises and CBT’s application in addressing addiction ambivalence. The course has significantly enriched my skillset and confidence as a practitioner. I extend sincere appreciation to Dr. Crimmins for his invaluable mentorship. I wholeheartedly recommend potential learners to explore the institutes offerings and register for courses that suit their professional goals.

I'm excited to share my Journey in taking Diploma in CBT From Behavioral Training Institute . It's been transformative for me both personally and professionally. The practical approach and the expert guidance equipped me to make a meaningful impact in therapy sessions. I highly recommend this course to anyone in the mental health field seeking to broaden their expertise. And also for people to self-reflect their short comings to the way they think about themselves. The additional videos and reading materials provided during the course was truly enlightening. I would also like to express my gratitude to Dr. John Crimmins, the institute's director and my facilitator. He was always available and willing to assist in answering any questions I had throughout the course. I am currently doing diploma in eating disorder under him.

Having completed a Diploma in Positive Psychology & a Diploma in Emotional Intelligence with The Behaviour Institute. I found the course’s very well structured with a balance between video’s, resources & reading materials. Both these courses have aided me in not only supporting clients to use their inner resources to overcome challenges, understand and recognise areas of growth, and build resilience & a greater sense of wellbeing, but increasing my own self-awareness. I am very grateful for the support received from Dr Crimmins & the detailed feedback on assignments. The quick responses & support also from Rita. I would recommend The Behaviour Institute & I am looking forward to my next course with them.

I’m excited to share that I’ve obtained a new certification on Advanced Cognitive Behavioural Therapy from The Behavioural Training Institute through Illuminations Well Being Center in Dubai! This intensive 32-hour in-person course was an incredible experience, blending academic learning with practical, hands-on techniques. Adding these skills to my toolkit as a mental health professional will help me provide even more effective support and guidance at work. A huge thank you to Dr John Crimmins PhD for being an amazing instructor, and to fellow participants for making this journey so enriching.
